World War I was the end result of a 24-year British strategy orchestrated by King Edward VII — first as Prince of Wales, then as King — documented through diplomatic records, personal correspondence, and the systematic elimination of every leader who stood in the way.

German Chancellor Bismarck prevented the war for 20 years. His removal in 1890 was the starting gun. Every alliance, every assassination, every treaty that followed was a step in a documented plan to encircle Germany and destroy the European balance of power that Bismarck had maintained.

This is that plan. 🧵 👇 Otto von Bismarck prevented a general European war for twenty years.

As Chancellor of Germany from 1871 to 1890, Bismarck constructed a web of alliances specifically designed to isolate France and prevent any two-front war against Germany.

The cornerstone was the secret Reinsurance Treaty with Russia (1887), which guaranteed mutual neutrality. He balanced this with the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy) and quiet back-channels to France.

The system worked. No major power could move without risking isolation.

Bismarck privately warned that if he were removed, Germany would face a catastrophic war within about twenty years. He was almost exactly right.

In March 1890, the young, vain, and insecure Kaiser Wilhelm II — heavily influenced by a court circle Edward VII had helped shape — dismissed Bismarck. The Reinsurance Treaty was not renewed. Russia drifted toward France.

The peace system began to unravel.

When the Civil War began in 1861, Abraham Lincoln needed money to fight it.

He approached the private banks. They offered loans at 24–36% interest - terms designed to bankrupt the government and hand the bankers permanent leverage over the republic.

Lincoln refused.

Instead, he did something no American president had done before: he had Congress authorize the Treasury to print $450 million in government-issued currency - the greenbacks. No private bank involvement. No interest payments. No debt.

The greenback was a direct threat to every private banking interest on earth. If a government could fund itself without borrowing, private bankers become unnecessary.

The London Times responded with an editorial that read like a declaration of war: “If that mischievous financial policy should become indurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off its debts and be without debt. It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the civilized governments of the world. The brains and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That government must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe.”

This is a primary source document. The London Times, 1865. 🧵 Here’s what most people don’t know about the Civil War:

The Confederate Secret Service was not headquartered in Richmond. It was headquartered in London.

James Dunwoody Bulloch (Teddy Roosevelt's Uncle) ran the entire Confederate naval procurement operation from Liverpool, England. He negotiated the construction of Confederate warships in British shipyards - in violation of British neutrality law. British authorities looked the other way.

The CSS Alabama - built in Liverpool - destroyed or captured 65 Union merchant vessels.

The Confederate intelligence apparatus wasn’t a Southern domestic operation. It was a British operation conducted on American soil through proxy networks.
